- Best sown direct as they dislike having their roots disturbed. Sow in spring, or in autumn for earlier flowers the following year. Can also be sown under cover in gutterpipes and transplanted outside to minimise root disturbance.
Care Tips
Great for growing in container pots or borders with poor soil where it will thrive on neglect and freely self-seed. Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms.
